 Test to measure specific intellectual

abilities, Psychomotor and physical

abilities & sensory and motor abilities
have been developed.

 The term ‘Ability test ’ is used to refer

to those test that measure skills in
terms of speed, accuracy or both .
1)Bennett Mechanical comprehension Test
:-Developed by Psychological
Corporation.
2) Revised Minnesota Paper From broad .
:-Developed by Psychological
Corporation.
3) Minnesota clerical Test .
:- Unknown .
 There are certain areas such as vision,
hearing, motor dexterity and artistic
talents that are rarely included in the
earlier mentioned multiabilities tests .

 Secondly, special aptitude tests give us a

precise assessment of an individual’s
potential in a given area .
A) MacQuarrie Test for Mechanical
Ability .

B) O’Connor Finger and Tweezer

Dexterity Tests.
1) Tracing

2) Tapping
3) Dotting

4) Copying

5) Location

6) Blocks

7) Pursuit
 The O'Connor Finger Dexterity Test is
designed to give a reading of levels of
finger speed and dexterity. The test
consists of a rectangular board with a
cutout dish and 100 peg holes. The
peg holes can hold up to three pegs
each. The test comes with an
instruction manual that contains data
for normal readings.
A substantial body of research confirms
higher verbal ability in normally
achieving females and higher visual-
spatial and mathematical abilities in
normally achieving males.
 Brain size: Men have larger brains than
women by about 8%-10%.
 Cortical thickness and density:
Women’s brains possess more folding.
Some researchers speculate this is why
women’s brains are smaller overall.
 Studies have long shown that boys in
the United States and around the world
do not read or write as well as girls.
There are several reasons, according to
the common wisdom:
 Girls mature more quickly.
 Boys are more likely to suffer dyslexia
and other reading disorders.
 Race and poverty play a role.
 The male variance in I.Q. is greater
than that for females.
 In general, people enjoy doing what
they are good at, so the fact that fewer
women than men take high-range tests
is in full accordance with their lower
occurrence frequency at high
intelligence levels.
 Girls mature earlier verbally, and after
puberty boys catch up
A remark I have on this: if there is a
mean difference in I.Q. between the
sexes, this will be fully expressed only
in adults, and not yet in children .
 Females are slightly better than males
at straight-forward arithmetic . On
short-term memory the difference is
greater than males .
 Females are also better at motor
coordination and finger and manual
dexterity
 Males were found to be more assertive
and had slightly higher self-esteem than
females.
 Then there is a difference in numerical
ability .
 in both spatial and numerical ability there
is also a large difference in variance,
favoring males.
 As for verbal ability, males are better at
tests of general knowledge. In verbal
reasoning there is as good as no
difference.
 This is a test to see how you reason
with words .
 You may speak excellent English. Yet,
when it comes to written English, many
of us tend to flounder. 
 What you speak is usually adapted to
suit easy communication. To write
correctly, is called verbal ability .
 Thereis no gender differences in
verbal Ability.
 This
ability include Arithmetic
knowledge and skill as well as
understanding of Quantitative
concepts .
 Important research studies in the areas
of :-

3) Halpern (1992)

5) Hyde & Linn (1988)

7) Maccoby & Jacklin (1974)

9) Williams (1983)
 An Intelligence Quotient or IQ is a
score derived from one of several
different standardized tests attempting
to measure intelligence. The term "IQ,"
a translation of the German Intelligent-
Quotient, was coined by the German
psychologist William Stern in 1912 .
 In 1905 the French psychologist
Alfred Binet published the first modern
intelligence test called the Binet-Simon
intelligence scale.

 In 1939 David Wechsler published the

first intelligence test explicitly
designed for an adult population, the
Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, or
 The general intelligence factor is a
controversial construct used in the field
of psychology to quantify what is
common to the scores of all
intelligence tests.
 Environmental factors play a role in
determining IQ. Proper childhood
nutrition appears critical for cognitive
development, malnutrition can lower
IQ.
 In 2004, Richard Haier, professor of psychology
in the Department of Pediatrics and colleagues at
University of California used MRI to obtain
structural images of the brain in 47 normal
adults who also took standard IQ tests. The study
demonstrated that general human intelligence
appears to be based on the volume and location
of gray matter tissue in the brain .
A. Individuals have the ability to accurately
perceive emotions in themselves and others
and also the ability to express .

Awareness as how one’s emotions shape

their thoughts, memory & coping behavior .

E. Ability is to regulate one’s emotions .

 In 2005, Danah Zohar - a physicist,
philosopher and management thought
leader - introduced another measurable
spiritual intelligence .

 It is an ability to access higher meanings,

values, abiding purposes and unconscious
aspects of the self and to embed these
meanings, values and purposes in living a
richer and more creative life."
